Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Your edit to the Veterans benefits for PTSD article

Hello Amandajra - I modified the information you added to Veterans benefits for post-traumatic stress disorder in the United States - see the "diff" (difference) here. I made this change for two reasons.

Reason #1: you cited an unreliable source - see reliable sources.

Reason #2: what you added is certainly accurate but it is a separate topic, i.e., it should at least appear in its own paragraph, or it might just be better in an article about VA disability benefits generally, not this very specific article on PTSD disability compensation.

However, I retained the information you added, putting it in an endnote, with a citation to a reliable source. I wrote in the edit note: "I'm not sure this is the best way to add this info, or if should even be in this article, but I want to [retain it] out of respect to the other editor's good faith addition."
